Summary:碩士 === 國立高雄第一科技大學 === 金融所 === 98 === The paper follows the Kumar (2009) methodology to research into TXO,TEO and TFO in Taiwan. Using investor-level data, multiple measures of valuation uncertainty and multiple behavioral bias proxies, the investors whether exhibit stronger behavioral biases when options are harder-to-value in more uncertain environments. To examine the robustness of the disposition effect and overconfidence regression estimates with panel regression and sub-period. Then use time-series model to examine whether investors’ disposition effect and overconfidence are amplified when market-level uncertainty is higher. Furthermore, use trading correlation as a proxy for other behavioral biases and follow the Kumar and Lee(2006) methodology to measure trading correlations.Examine whether the mean trading correlation is higher when options are harder- to-value in more uncertain environments. The empirical results indicate that investors exhibit more confidence when options are harder-to-value, but do not more exhibit disposition effect when options or market- level in more uncertain environments. However the mean trading correlations are not higher when options are harder-to-value indicate the investors’ other behavioral biases are not amplified.
